Bridget Kennedy Contemporary Jewellery

We made our wedding rings with Bridget, and I could not recommend her and her workshop more!! We wanted to take the gold from an old chain and turn it into our rings. After I sent a request through the website Bridget got in touch and designed a workshop that would meet all our needs, we created one ring from the gold chain (which Bridget taught us how to cut, melt and forge) and one ring from a wax cast. We had the best day in the workshop with Bridget who was so fun to work with and even cooked us a delicious lunch! Our rings turned out perfect and Bridget kept us updated with progress pics as she polished and stone set the wax cast ring. We now have the most beautiful, sentimental wedding rings! Thank you Bridget

Bridget is my expert and inspiring teacher at Willoughby Art Centre. As a complete novice, she has given me confidence, encouragement and so many new skills to make my own wonderful jewellery pieces. Bridget is talented and passionate about design, sustainability and sharing her skills. I am very grateful for her patient guidance.

My partner went to Bridget to make me an engagement ring. They developed the most thoughtful, unique design, with some materials recycled from older pieces and a wonderfully unique asymmetrical Australian parti sapphire. Bridget was able to translate my partner's ideas into a brilliant ring that makes me smile every day. Thank you so much!

I have had several remade pieces created by Bridget. They have gone from bottom drawer family heirlooms to memories of loved ones that I wear regularly. Love Bridget’s creativity and her works a far more than just jewellery, truly an artist.

Thank you so much Bridget my grandmother’s necklace is now looking as good as new.Really appreciate your care and time and such good value! I highly recommend Bridget particularly her remakeries.

Bridget has a beautiful studio/shop in Lane Cove. She took me and another jewellery student for a shared lesson in soldering which was really helpful. Thanks for sharing your expertise Bridget!

Bridget added some sparkle to a very old I signet ring I had. I was thinking of using the gold for another project but she suggested adding some small diamonds to the area where the initials would have been engraved. Brilliant and creative update.
Bridget was a delight to deal with and was very reasonable in cost.

I commissioned Bridget to make an engagement ring for me to give to my boyfriend (now fiancé) and another for myself, by email from Denmark. I wanted two unique rings which captured our differing styles whilst also tying into each other.
Bridget was helpful all along the journey of design, offering helpful suggestions on what could and might not work, as well as adding aspects I never would have thought of myself.

I provided some old gold jewellery that I didn't wear anymore to make the rings, and let Bridget work her magic. The end result is outstanding! Due to Covid-19 aside from the one meeting in the gallery to deliver the gold, I sadly didn't get the chance to travel to Australia anymore during the process. Despite this Bridget delivered two rings which not only fit us, but capture our unique styles. We've been constantly getting compliments on the rings from everyone who sees them.

Bridget was a pleasure to do business with, and she was so accommodating with the chaos caused by Covid-19. She was helpful in arranging international shipping, and made sure the packaging was secure but as compact as possible to avoid too high fees.

I'd highly recommend everyone to visit the gallery when you have a chance. And if you are looking for a unique, stunning and beautiful piece of jewellery made especially for you, get in touch with Bridget!

Recently I experienced difficulty in making a purchase online using PayPal. I messaged Bridget and she answered my query via her mobile very promptly. She was able to expedite the process and I am awaIting my order of her beautiful, handmade jewellery. My sister will be thrilled on receiving her significant birthday gift, I'm sure! Thanks Bridget for such personalised service.

Bridget always has beautiful and unique handmade jewelry. The pieces are like wearable art! Bridget also makes adjustments if needed.

My fiance and I decided to make our own wedding rings, and Bridget was the ideal person to help us do that. She was kind, patient, generous with her time, and helped us to craft the perfect, unique set of wedding bands that made our wedding day even more special. Her ring making workshop is highly recommended to all those who wish to forgo a stock-standard wedding band in favour of a fun, exciting day of crafting their own unique rings. A pleasure to work with and speak to!

As a young designer, it's been so inspiring to work with Bridget and learn from an artist who is evidently passionate about not only her craft but her community as well! It's incredibly reassuring to know that working with Bridget supports true sustainablity in all its forms. I highly recommend her remakeries and workshops!

I participated in the jewellery making work shop, and had a wonderful time! Bridget is a teacher, passionate and likes to transmit her passion. In a few weeks, thanks to her patience and knowledge, I was able to make two different rings, without any experience when I arrived! And this would not have been possible without Bridget :)
Moreover, the setting of the gallery is very pleasant, I spent a very good time there and I leave with two new jewels! Merci beaucoup !!

I had a wonderful time with Bridget and fellow students at the day-long jewellery making workshop. I made an impressive Silver ring and vicariously experienced the creation of other works by my class mates. Bridget was most helpful with her artistic advise and her equipment was helpful in facilitating the collective creations that the day produced. I would highly recommend anyone interesting in jewellery making to take this course when it is offered.

Bridget took a motley collection of my old gold and made me the most beautiful signet ring. She worked closely with me to design it and choose the shape and the stones. It is the most comfortable ring I have ever had and the lovely rustic, chunky gold and the scattered gems are so special and unique. It makes my heart sing every time I look at it, and I have worn it every day since I picked it up! Beautiful and sensitive design and making.

My fiance and I attended Bridget's workshop to craft wedding rings for each other, and the experience was above and beyond our expectations! Bridget guided us through the process with professionalism, humour, and patience while holding a space for us to express our love through our creations. We found the space to be queer-friendly and completely supportive. We adore the end products, but most of all we'll treasure the memory of making them together at Bridget's studio. I HIGHLY recommend taking a ring making workshop with Bridget, especially for to-be-weds!

After much research I came across Bridget!!
Her remakery of my beautiful ring more than fulfilled my expectations.
Bridget really listened to what I wanted, stylishly encompassing and combining a selection of jewels and gold that hold both memories and history for me.
Wearing my special ring everyday gives me joy.
I highly recommend Bridget, so much so, my husband also had a superb ring made!!

Bridget repaired a glass-winged statue of mine that I had for years, and thought could not be fixed. Bridget did such a wonderful job of reattaching the wing that had broken off, it was a seamless job. I highly recommend Bridget for all jewellery and other repairs :)

I cannot recommend Bridget enough. She really understood what I was looking for (even though I didn't) and I love the exquisite pair of earrings she made for me. Her skill, eye for detail and professionalism is commendable.

Today I took a damaged ring in that I'd bought from the Dank St Gallery a few years ago. Bridget remembered the ring and me, and she fixed it while I waited. I also purchased a beautiful designer ring for my wife. We also consulted on a pendant we want designed. Bridget is so accomodating, positive and creative. The gallery is lovely and well worth a visit tucked away in a nice little side street in North Sydney. Thanks Bridget, we will be back soon to start the pendant project. Neil
